      Aristotle’s goal is to bring people from subjective happiness to. objective eudaimonia. To achieve this task, the function of man must be determined (1097B: 23-25). Since the good and the ‘well’ is thought to reside in the function, the function of man is. crucial in understanding the chief good in life (1097B: 28-29).

      The Highest Good Aristotle’s first goal is to identify the primary human good. All human activity is directed towards some good or other, he observes.
